Cinemarts.netFIA GT Championship - Bucharest City Challenge 2008 (2008)

The second edition of the Bucharest City Challenge is widely covered by national and international media. Among the 400 representatives of the media, 150 of which are from TV stations, many have come a long way to report on this very special event. The global motorsport federation FIA has issued accreditations to journalists from France, Italy, Great Britain, Germany, Belgium, The Netherlands, Austria, Greece and Sweden, to name but a few.

Hartmut Beyer, C.E.O. of Bucharest-Ring, showed himself very happy about the second edition of the Bucharest City Challenge. “I am very satisfied”, he said after the event on Sunday. “We only get positive feedback from all sides: from teams, drivers, officials and journalists.”

Beyer is also happy about the number of spectators. “All the grandstand seats at the circuit were sold out. In total we have had 44,000 spectators. The citizens from Bucharest have also accepted the race as a big event in their city.”

Also attending the event were delegations from other cities all over the world, which are also interested in organizing a street race with GT-cars. “At the moment we talk with one city from the Turkey and one from Bulgaria. They want us to organize an event like this in their city.”

After this success Beyer plans the third edition of the Bucharest City Challenge for 2009. “Everyone who was here has pushed us to go on. Bucharest has a special atmosphere with the Parliament building in the backdrop. This is something you will not find in any other city.”
